Re: [jQuery] Text pointer to hand pointer on MouseOver...

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 15:34:54 -0800

I replied to this a long time ago... on the wrong thread... oops.
Glen's got it right Rick.

Here's my old reply for what it's worth.
---------
obj.style.cursor = default; // arrow
obj.style.cursor = pointer; // the little hand. could put "hand" but that's an IE only deal. don't do it.
obj.style.cursor = wait; // hour glass.
obj.style.cursor = move; // i *think* this one is the compass rose lookin' icon.
obj.style.cursor = help; // this is the regular default arrow with a "?" superimposed.

... there are others, but "default", "pointer", and "wait" are the ones you'll prolly use most.

a jQuery way of doing this would be something like:

$("td").css("cursor","pointer");

or

$.("#MyElementID").css("cursor", "wait");

using any of these methods, you don't have to worry about mouseover and mouse out. the browsers (all of them to my knowledge) handle this automatically. Just set the style, and you'll be fine.

Or put it in the CSS. whatever{ cursor: pointer  }

How could I cause the mouse pointer to change from the

text select pointer to a hand when a user mouses over

text before clicking?

I'm working with this jQuery code …

$(document).ready(function() {

        $('#ann').find('dd').hide().end().find('dt').click(function() {

         var answer = $(this).next();

         if (answer.is(':visible')) {

             answer.slideUp();

         } else {

             answer.slideDown();

         }

     });

});
